ID: Comment sought on aquifer management
The Idaho Water Resource Board (IWRB) will receive comment on the proposed Treasure Valley Comprehensive Aquifer Management Plan (CAMP) during public hearings scheduled for Monday, September 10, 2012 in Caldwell at the Caldwell Public Library, 1010 Dearborn St., and Tuesday September 11, 2012 in Boise at the Idaho Water Center, 322 E. Front St. A copy of the proposed plan and associated documents are available on the Idaho Department of Water Resources Treasure Valley CAMP Web site.
In March 2010, the IWRB appointed an Advisory Committee comprised of representatives from water providers, local governments, utilities, business interests and conservation groups. Between April 2010 and June 2011 the committee held regular meetings. The result of those meetings is the proposed CAMP for the Treasure Valley. The proposed Treasure Valley CAMP was accepted for public review by the IWRB at its meeting on May 18, 2012. After considering public comment and reviewing the proposed plan, the IWRB will consider adopting a final plan for submission to the 2013 Idaho Legislature.
The IWRB will hold a 60-day public comment period from August 1 to September 30.
